Applicationiled December 8, 1911. Serial No. 664,621.

Be it known that I, JOHN H. ASTRUCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, county and State of New York,

have' lnvented anew and Improved Smokers Utensil, of which the following is aspecitication; i

This invention relates Sto a smokers utensilof-novel construction and more particularly to improved means for assembling and conveniently presenting those devices which are in frequent 4demand .by smokers, such as matchboxes, cigar cutters, cigar rests and ash'trays.

ln the accompanying drawing: 'Figure 1 .-is a side elevation of a -stand provided with a smokers utensil embodying my invention;

F ig. 2 a plan on an enlarged scale; Fig. `6 -a cross section on line 3 3, Fig. 2, and Fig. 45

a cross section through the carrier on line 4 4, Fig. 2. i

The utensil comprises essentially a plate or carrier, provided with a central upwardly extending4 yoke or saddle 10, the two depending shanks 11 of which are turned sidewise at their lower endsto'form integral laterally extending arms 12 which are turned upwardly at theirfree ends. `T0 these upwardly extending ends of arms l2 are secured cigar rests 13 which are thus raised a substantial distance above the bottom of saddle 10. Thesize of saddlelO is such that it may be snugly straddled-by a match box 14 which by being projected over the saddle is securely held in position andcentered between the cigar rests. From saddle 10 there depends between shanlm 11, a tapped hub` 15, by which jthe device is adapted to be securedto the bowll 16 of a smoker-s stand.. At its lower end hub 15 carries a, transverse plate -17 lextending through the saddle at right angles to arms 12. APlate v17 is arranged in a horizontal l plane materially llowerA than thatof saddle 10,.so as not to prevent the latter from being telescoped by the match boX. To the free ends of'plate 17 are secured additional devices for the convenience of smokers, such las acigar cutter 18, and a third cigar rest 19, so that in this way the carrier comprises a match box holder, a cigar cutter and a plurality of cigar rests. Rests 13 are located in a higher horizontal plane than rest 19 and cutter 18, so that all the devices are so spaced as not to interfere with each other and to be readily accessible. The utensil constructed as described is fitted to the bowl 16 of smokers stand 20, said bowl being adapted to properly support the utensil and also to constitute a container for the ashes. As illustrated in Figs. 1-3, bowl 16 is provided with an annular trough shaped insert `or lining 21 within a central projection 22 of which is Aanchored a core 23. This core is provided with an upwardly extending screw 24 adapted to engage tapped hub 15, so that in this way the utensil is removably secured tothe center of the bowl.

I claim: 1. A smokers utensil comprising a carrier having a ycentrally disposed saddle, arms projecting laterally therefrom, smokers devices carried by said arm, a member depending from the saddle, a transverse plate secured to said member and extending through the saddle,

devices carried by the transverse plate.

2. A -smokers utensil comprisinga car;

riedby the transverse plate, an ash bowl,-

fand means for securing the hub tovsaid bowl.
